Having problems with your Bissell 9200 Upright Vacuum ?

Bissell 9200-T ProHeat 2X will not spray I have gone through the priming process it will work for a few seconds and quit. I have had it open and checked a few tubes but not sure what to do next. This occurs with both the Upholstery attachment as well as the bottom sprayers.

\012ARE THE TANKS SEATED PROPERLY AND THE AUTO-LOAD GASKETS \012IN PLACE? \012Check the bottom of the Water Tank and the Formula Bottle to make \012sure each has a red (or black) auto-load gasket attached and facing outwards \012and that the ventilation tube is not submerged as it allows air in so the solution \012can flow.

I need to find a way to replace the attachment hose on this unit. the tube to spray the detergent snakes into the base next to the wheel and i'm unsure of how to take it apart without breaking it. is there a simple way to remove the wheel? do i need to do something special to replace that tube?

The best thing for that situation is to look on the side of the road and you will find a Bissel, I see one or two a week. Take one home and experiment on that one not yours. I have brought many and never have I bought one. I never see a Hoover by ...

Vacuum tube is obstructed at curve next to roller. I'm unable to clear it using a chop stick. vacuum functions when tube is used w/ attachment for small areas.

Do not give up... Now try wire coat hanger to clean out. Restriction of air flow will burn out your motor, eventually. ...

My Bissel proheat carpet cleaner wont spray out of the bottom or the spray handle. I took of the scrub brushes and off and cleaned out the bottom of the machine including popping out the two spray heads to make sure they were not clogged. Put it back together. Still no spray! I also did the turn off, remove fluid containers, replace, turn on for one minute to prime the pump, and still so spray...does this mean my pump is not working?

When vacuuming carpet with the electric power brush it will ocassionly , go to zero suction mode and shut off the brush. I have tried to cause it to happen by playing with the joint areas ( handle to tube and tube to power brush) without sucess.
When the problem does occur I just turn the suction back on and power up the brush again at the handle controls.

You gave a good start to giving us good information to help you with solving this problem-- But I need a little more information:It sounds like you have the Electric Motor driven Power nozzle/ Floo ...

My problem is the brush on the bottom is not spinning and i think there is no suction from the bottom of the vacuum
my rugs are in need of a vacuum and i
'm not sure what is going on - also nothing is going into the canister

Is there a shaft driving the brush, or is there a belt on this one? Are they intact and working properly? It could be possible that the motor isn't moving which would cause no suction or brush movement. ...

I broke the handle part of the shark steamer #53101. I don't have the book to try to tell you the parts I need. Can you send me a picture or a copy of the steamer. It is purple. The above number may not be the correct one. It is broken in the center part. It has a little small circular piece that joins the two pieces which are broken. The beginning of the handle at the bottom of the steamer and the next session which has the steam release. The top of the handle is okay . It the middle and bottom

I cleaned out my brush in the bottom front, cleaned out the small tubing going into the canister, and the canister itself. I also changed the filter.I snapped everything back into place, but Since then, it doesn't seem to have any suction and there seems to be a space between the canister and the bottom of the vacumm where the canister sits. At that area, you can feel air coming out when trying to vacumm and it just doesn't pick up, it seems to be just blowing stuff around.

I have an old kenmore sewing machine. When i run fabric through, the bottom stitching turns into a total rats nest. Its as if the bottom is pulling a ton of thread for each stitch. The top stitching looks fine. Not sure what to do and i am a total beginner at sewing! thanks

Check the tension on the bobbin thread and ensure that the bobbin is in the right way, the thread must double back on itself. ...

I have a Dirt Devil Vacuum that won't start up anymore. It was working, but then it stopped. The tube got clogged up. Now the tube is unclogged and empty and it won't turn back on. It's also hot on the bottom of it. Help?
Blown fuse or what?

Some of the Dirt Devils have a reset button on the back, near the bottom. But if the it is getting hot on the bottom, that may mean the motor is trying to run but can't. Maybe something has jammed it. You would have to disasemble it to find out. ...

The fan housing tube is cracked just below the bottom clamp. How to replace

I have any easy-flo built-in vacuum. I recently had the bearings on the motor, top and bottom replaced. I put the vacuum back together and it mow has low suction power. There is plenty of suction on the side of the canister where the rigid tubing meets the canister body but little suction at the wall plates. Any ideas? Roger

There is either a blockage or a pipe is open somewhere. You should check the system at the wall valve without the hose to determine if the pipes are blocked or if perhaps the hose is plugged. If one of the wall valves is damaged or open, this will af ...

I have a Dirt Devil Vision and when I put a clean canister back in place the suction at the bottom of the filter clogs up and very rarely go into the canister. Also where the air blows out of the motor, I will get particals that will blow out. I have checked where the belt is and also the suction tube. Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem?

I have the same problem with intermitant power, however, it does not make sense that the problem is in the upper powerhead (which is what a repair guy told me) because-- when I use the other attachements it is fine. The problem only occurs when I use the carpet (big)attachment so that the roller will not turn. Couldn't it just be in the area where the bottom of the handle attaches into the carpet attachment?

You can test the auxiliary plug to the roller/beater attachment with a volt meter if you know how and take precautions. Check for 115-120 volts at the beater/roller attachment plug. If voltage is there and the beater/roller doesn't run, the proble ...

My iRobot Roomba 560 starts spinning sporadically during the cleaning, and after over 3 minutes it complete stops and beeps 9 times. It is necessary to turn it on until it decides to work properly, and keep waiting for the next time the same failure will occur. I tried to reset it, and I have all the dust removed including from the bumper and sensors.

It's the bumper. Blow it out with compressed air and clean the cliff sensors. If you still get the 9-beep error, call support. ...

Hi my vacuum isnt sucking up like it should, actually hardly at all, the brush on the bottom is spinning, not sure what is the matter with it

It won't turn on. I have partially disassembled it and have continuity between the power cord (wide blade) and one of the connectors where the switch assembly snaps in.
Also, switch is working fine. There is continuity across it, then no continuity across its connectors when the switch is pressed.
Not sure what to try next.

My brush is no longer working on my bissell healthy home vac. when i try to turn it on it makes a high pitched squealing sound. I'm pretty sure it needs a new belt but my husband is having trouble getting the vac. apart. He says you need a special tool to get the screws out of the bottom of the vac. Any advice? THANK YOU!

Changing belt How do I do that? It looks like I would have to take the screwdriver to the bottom and enter the engine compartment. I'm not sure that I feel confident to take this machine all apart and be able to get it back together again.

Oreck Upright Hi Redev, I'm not sure what model I have (about 6 years old...upright, looks like the one in the picture). I changed the belt (which was torn) and then the next time I used it, it cut off on me. Now if won't turn on at all. (I turn the switch on and off and nothing happens as if it is not plugged in but it is!). I noticed at the top where the power cord enters the handle, it is all frayed. Could the electrical wires have detached? Anything you think I should check before taking it

The cord could be bad and will ahve to be replaced. It would have to have a problem inside the handle or down by the motor. ...
